פלטיאל

Paltiel is an ancient and rare biblical Hebrew name composed of two linguistic elements: 'pelet' meaning rescue, escape, or deliverance, and 'El' which is one of the names of God. The full meaning of the name is 'God has delivered' or 'God's deliverance', expressing deep faith in divine providence and the power of salvation that comes from the Creator. This name carries a message of hope, faith, and gratitude for the salvation that originates from a higher power. In the Bible, the name Paltiel appears twice, and both figures bearing it are connected to dramatic and significant stories. The most well-known figure is Palti son of Laish (also called Paltiel), who was the second husband of Michal, daughter of Saul, after her father gave her to him as a wife when David fled from Saul. The moving story of Paltiel is described in the Book of Samuel, when David demands Michal back, and Paltiel walks after her weeping all the way to Bahurim, until Abner commands him to return. This story has made Paltiel a symbol of profound love and painful loss. Another figure is Paltiel son of Azzan, prince of the tribe of Issachar, who was chosen to be one of the twelve spies sent to scout the land of Canaan. The name Paltiel carries deep spiritual significance reflecting the concepts of salvation and redemption that are central to Judaism. It expresses the belief that God is the savior and redeemer, and that salvation comes from Him alone. In times of distress and danger, this name was a natural choice for parents who wished to give thanks for deliverance or express hope for future salvation. The name conveys a sense of security, strong faith, and dependence on divine providence. In Jewish tradition, the name Paltiel evokes the central theme of escape and deliverance that runs like a thread throughout Jewish history, from the Exodus from Egypt to the present day.

In Kabbalah, the name Paltiel represents the concept of salvation and spiritual redemption. The letter Peh symbolizes divine speech and expression, while the name 'El' connects directly to the Sefirah of Chesed (loving-kindness) and mercy. The name carries an energy of spiritual protection and safeguarding against forces of evil.
